We found the factors 79,34,24,70 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 79,34,24,70 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 59,81,36,744
2 | 59, 81, 36, 744 |
2 | 59, 81, 18, 372 |
3 | 59, 81, 9, 186 |
3 | 59, 27, 3, 62 |
59, 9, 1, 62 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 59 x 9 x 1 x 62 = 1185192
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1185192
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 79/59,34/81,24/36,70/744 is 1/1185192
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 59,81,36,744 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(59,81,36,744) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 108
GCF(59,81,36,744) x common factors =1 x 108 = 108
LCM(59,81,36,744) = ( 59 × 81 × 36 × 744 ) / 108
LCM(59,81,36,744) = 128000736 / 108
LCM(59,81,36,744) = 1185192
